Stratford Day

The Bristol Boys played Stratford Day today. Fortunately, we were in the air-conditioned senior center, rather than outside. Unfortunately, most people chose to stay outside.Thanks to Mike Chavel, entertainment chairman, and all of the volunteers.The highlight to me was seeing Mrs. Price, a sweet woman from West Virginia who wants us to learn "Country Roads." We did get a couple of requests - one for Ring of Fire, which we don't do, so we did Folsom Prison Blues instead. The other request was for Spanish Eyes. I love the tune, and used to play it on the accordion. What I like about playing with Dave and Tex is that they're willing to give just about anything a try. I think that we pulled it off pretty well -- we may have to add it to the set.
